Bought this rod and paired it up with a Penn Battle II 3000. Took it out and tried it on some cats... man what a SWEEEEEET combo! LOVE this setup, going to do another one, maybe two by spring time. GREAT rod! LIGHT and TIGHT! Very responsive!

Great quality rod

Its still the worlds toughest rod. I replaced a 25 year old Zebco Rhino rod with this new GX-2 Ugly Stick. This rod will last the rest of my life. Only complaint, its too pretty. There should be a classic model with the ugly black and yellow colors.

My friend and I caught two nice Redfish on these rods.
His he borrowed from me a medium heavy 7 foot rod attached to a Pfleuger 40 President.
Mine a 9 foot medium on the same type reel.
Both rods bent in half out of a boat great fun.
I own four of them two of the 9 footers and two of the 7 footers.
What else could a person ask for?

Great Rod!

I like how it feels to cast with it. I've only used it once and wasn't familiar with the area so I didn't get a fish to see how it performed in that way. I've used this brand before and it was great. If your wanting a good rod without spending a lot of money their great rods for under $50.

I now have two of the 7' one piece rods. The hook set is solid and you can feel everything going on with your lure. The light weight and balance is perfect I have blackmax reels on both of them and get tired a lot less with this setup. I first bought one but after that none of my rods would do for my second rod so I just got another one. I fish a couple times a week and pull 4LB bass out of the weeds all the time the rod holds up great.

THE only rod I will spend my money on.

I am NOT a professional fisherman of any kind. Not a guide or a tournament pro. I do fish a lot of bass tournaments and I generally fish 5-10+ days per month. So my equipment is well tested. As for rods and reels, I have tried them all, in all price ranges, and not a single one is better for 1. Durability. 2. Feel/sensitivity. 3. Weight/balance. I LOVE this rod and the price is unbelievable considering how awesome this product has been for me over the past 7-10 years.

For the type of angling I do I prefer a fast action rod. The drawback is that all of the pressure is placed on the rod tip and this can lead to premature failure (stress fractures and the like). This is ok with me because I don't typically purchase ultra expensive rods. My go-to for bass fishing has been the Berkley Lightning Rod series. They are tough, live up the the abuse that I dish out and I hope the fine folks at Berkley never stop making them.

I have two rods a baitcaster and a spinning . Both rods are 7ft one piece . The actions are very fast and detect the lightest bites . Be sure and set your drag to a little bit of give so the fish can run to set the hook . These rods are well balanced and constructed with good components . If you are snapping the tips off maybe you stick with a ugly stick until your skills improve .

I've used this rod for Reds and Trout and have never had any problems. It is lightweight and easy in the hands. One of the main features I like about this rod are the marking measurements for the size of the fish. These make it very convenient to measure your fish. I'm in my way to buy another one.

I got the 7'M spinning model for my birthday and I love it. I was hesitant about using it at first. I mean it's not the same kind of whippy little spinning rods I usually use, but after my first time using it I've been very surprised by its performance. Matched with a Pflueger Supreme MGX 30 and 20lb Suffix 832 braid, this rod has the backbone to pull fish out of the weeds and into the boat! While it's rated for lures in the 3/8 - 3/4 ounce weights, I feel like that's pretty high. I've used this
... rod for 1/8 -1/4 ounce shaky heads, light texas rigs, and most often a weightless soft jerkbait or stick bait. Heck, when I want to fish a 3/8 - 1/2 football jig in clear water on light line this is the rod I reach for! It fishes like a 7' M casting rod. The specs say that the rod has a moderate action, but it's not like a moderate action crankbait rod. This rod is more like a moderate-fast action. It's fast enough to get a good hookset, but it has a nice parabolic bend that helps you keep your fish hooked up. I will say that this rod is slightly tip heavy, but it balances out really well once you put a reel on it. All Star Rods has really been stepping up their game lately. We were all disappointinted when the old All Stars were discontinued, but this rod proves that All Star is coming back.

Good sensitive rod for walleye

Decided to try this as a 2 piece medium light rod to tuck in the side storage of my boat. Glad I did, this rod is perfect for casting jigs with 10# fireline you can feel everything. Handle design is a comfortable fit for my hand.

I have a pair of these 7 foot rods that I use fishing here in Western Pa. for walleye and smallies with a few pike and muskies thrown in. Sensitive enough to feel the lightest walleye bite and strong enough to land a 54 inch, 52 lb. muskie I caught while trolling for bass in my kayak. I have used these rods for the last two years with no problems. My next rod will be the 7 ft 4 inch size. I only wish that you made these in 8 ft.

Great Fit!

The reason for this purchase was multi-part. 1st - I needed a 2-piece that would fit in my travel luggage. (NOTE - Having a spinning reel in your carry on bag can baffle the snot out of the TSA!) 2nd - I needed a shorter rod that is easier to maneuver through the thick stream-side brush, than longer rods. This unit meets both criteria.
This rod features pink trim/highlights, but guess what - the fish don't care! My first hook-up was a 2+ pound small mouth that this Ugly Stik handled with
... ease - a positive hook set and even though in the "ultra-light" category, and enough backbone to get the job done. Going through the brush with this short rod was a piece of cake, and the brook trout were also oblivious to the pink trimmings!
The only negative with the rod was that I purchased has the 1st (largest) eye being mounted slightly out of line with the others. (all eyes are mounted to the detachable section). I did not notice this until I was mounting my reel, weeks and 1500 miles after my purchase.

Bought this rod for my girlfriend for Christmas but couldn't wait. We took it striper fishing just to see how it did. First fish broke off using 12lb line. But was happy to see her haul in a 6lb striper yesterday. I am very impressed with the this rod and ugly stik as a whole. Will be buying there striper combos for bigger striper soon.

Awesome Rod!!

I bought this rod for my wife about 6 months ago and she absolutely loves it. The main reason I got this one Is because her favorite color is purple. It is almost impossible to find a purple fishing rod. I have used this rod myself and was really impressed with the sensitivity. You can feel every little bump! Very well balanced and very smooth casting.

I've been using these rods ever since they we introduced by CastAway. I have two of the 8' and two of the 7'6" rods. They are GREAT for fishing Croaker on the bottom, they make a long cast easy and have the backbone to pull a Big Sow in after a perfect hook set. I highly recommend these rods for the guys who like to soak a croaker for Big Specs.

Extremely sensitive and accurate

This rod is so light you can feel what is on the bottom of the water. I can consistently cast 30 yards on a 1/8th jig head. I caught a lot of speckled trout with this rod, but ultimately traded it in for a medium rod rather than. A medium light so I could have more hooksettijg power for redfish. The only con for this rod is such small eye holes that my line to leader knot sometimes got snagged. It is the lightest rod in its class that I have tried.

Decent rod

Rod action is good but the design can use some improvement. The rubber eye fell out of the tip after 6 fishing trips and the metal clip to hook your hook on is below the reel - this causes the hook to rub on the rod when in a rod holder.
I like the action and have bought another one - will put a drop of super glue on the first eye and try my best not to put the hook below the reel when the rod is put into the rod holder.

i recently bought this rod in a spinning medium light action because all duckett rods are stiffer then most ... my medium light still feels like a medium .. took it out to north jetties with a 3000 size stradic ci4+ super light combo doesnt weight a thing caught slot reds a bull red and a big black drum on it handled it perfect ..you could feel every bite on it .. took it to freshwater the next day flipped alot of bass on it including a 5 pounder so far im loving it i always put my tackle to
... the test i dont baby nothing if im
giving 140 bucks for a rod im gonna see what its made of ....
im not a fan of ducketts rod but this inshore series is awesome try it out

Just what I was looking for.

I got this rod to use for catfish, and it is working just great for me. It has the backbone to get them up out of the brush and the sensitivity to feel the slit tap of a cat checking out my offering.
